一我与左学美素闻昧平生,是通过阅读她的小说集《窗外云天》“认识”了她,这是典型的以文会友。从文字中去领略、感受一个人的精神和气质,或许可以省去一些客套,能比较客观地进入她的作品进行欣赏与解读。《窗外云天》是由云南民族出版社出版的一部小说集,收入左学美创作的十个中短篇小说。我从书的作者简介和马旷原先生的序言中了解到,左学美是出生于大理的彝族,长期担任文化宣传部门的领导工作,现任楚雄州武定县文联主席。近年来时常可以读到一些类似身份作者的作品,从某种意义上说文联领导能参与从事文学艺术创作工作 One of my life-long learning with Zuixumeixu was her reading of her novels, “Skylight” and “Knowing”. From the text to appreciate and feel a person’s spirit and temperament, may be able to save some courtesy, more objectively into her works for appreciation and interpretation. “Clouds outside the window” is a collection of novels published by Yunnan Nationalities Publishing House, which includes ten middle-aged and short stories by Zuo Xuemei. I learned from the book’s author brief introduction and Mr. Ma Kuyuan’s preface that Zuomei is a Yi nationality born in Dali and long served as the leader of the cultural propaganda department and is currently the chairman of Wenlian County Federation of Chuxiong Prefecture. In recent years, often can read some works of similar authors, in a sense, couplets leadership involved in literary and artistic creation work
